What happens in a speech therapy for stammerers?and can one speech therapist work on differnt handicaps like dumb and deaf peaple along with stutteres

Dr. Tanya Russo answered

Stuttering: Speech therapists have special techniques to teach stutterers how to slow down their speech patterns, etc. Teaching a person who is deaf to speak would be challenging for a general speech therapist without specialized training and a team approach.
